- <h3>Building and Installing CIAO
- </h3>
- <p>The first thing you should do to install CIAO is to set the environment
- variable <code>CIAO_ROOT</code> to be <code>$TAO_ROOT/CIAO</code>. Please refer
- to the <A href="../../ACE-INSTALL.html">ACE installation notes</A> and <A href="../TAO-INSTALL.html">
- TAO installation notes</A> for instructions on setting <code>$ACE_ROOT</code>
- and <code>$TAO_ROOT</code>, respectively. They are needed since CIAO sits on
- top of ACE+TAO. Compiling ACE+TAO successfully is the <strong>first</strong> requirement
- for compiling CIAO.
- </p>
- <p>CIAO is divided into several parts, so different installation/building rules
- apply to different parts of CIAO.<br>
- <br>
- </p>
- <ol>
- <li>
- CIAO core/examples: This part of CIAO include following directories: <code>$CIAO_ROOT/ciao</code>,
- <code>$CIAO_ROOT/examples</code>.
- <li>
- CIDL Compiler: This part of CIAO include <code>$CIAO_ROOT/CCF</code> and <code>$CIAO_ROOT/CIDLC</code>.
- <li>
- CIAO Deployment and Configuration Framework: This part of CIAO includes all the
- directories in <code>$CIAO_ROOT/DAnCE</code>. DAnCE is an implementation of the
- new <a href="http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?ptc/2003-07-02">Deployment and
- Configuration</a> specification. We refer, henceforth, to all pieces as CIAO
- in general. The above two pieces will be referred specifically by their names
- as CIDLC and DAnCE though they are part of CIAO.
- </li>
- </ol>

- <h3>Supported Platforms for CIAO
- </h3>
- <p>CIAO should be usable on all platforms that TAO runs on. Please see <A href="../TAO-INSTALL.html">
- TAO's installation</A> pages for details
- </p>
- <h3>Supported Platforms for CIDLC
- </h3>
- <p>CIDLC is supported only on a small subset of platforms. Please refer to <A href="CCF/Documentation/Build.html">
- this</A> for details on how to build CIDLC.
- </p>

- <p>If you have <A href="../../docs/ACE-porting.html">porting questions</A> or
- have a problem compiling CIAO with TAO and ACE on the platforms shown above
- please send email to either <A href="news:comp.soft-sys.ace">ACE Newsgroup</A> or
- the <A href="mailto:ciao-users@cs.wustl.edu">CIAO mailing list</A> and we'll
- try to help you fix the problems. You can also submit bug reports and
- enhancement requests in our <A href="../../docs/usage-bugzilla.html">bug tracking
- system</A>.
- </p>
- <p>CIAO can be obtained <a href="http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/Download.html">electronically</a>
- via the WWW and ftp. <a href="http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/CIAO">CIAO</a> is
- bundled with the ACE and TAO release. You'll always need the most recent
- version of ACE and TAO because CIAO tracks changes to ACE and TAO very closely.

- <h3>Install CIDL Compiler
- </h3>
- <p>We suggest you download the prebuilt binary <code>cidlc(exe)</code> from <strong>
- <a href="http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/cidlc/">here</a></strong> or, if you
- are using Windows or Linux, you can build it by yourself.
- </p>
- <p><A href="../../MPC/README">MPC</A> is used to build the CIDL compiler on <strong>
- Linux</strong>. The procedure is outlined below.
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- Open up <code>$ACE_ROOT/bin/MakeProjectCreator/config/default.features</code>
- and set cidl=1.
- <li>
- Open up <code>$ACE_ROOT/bin/MakeProjectCreator/config/global.features</code>
- and set boost=1.
- <li>
- Make sure you set cidl=1, boost=1, and exceptions=1 in <code>$ACE_ROOT/include/makeinclude/platfrom_macros.GNU</code>.
- <li>
- Install <code>boost_filesystem</code>, <code>boost_regex</code> and <code>Utility
- Library</code>. For how to do that please see <A href="./CCF/Documentation/Build.html">
- Build.html</A>.
- <li>
- In <code>$CIAO_ROOT/CIDLC</code> run <code>$ACE_ROOT/bin/mwc.pl CIDLC.mwc -type gnuace</code>
- <li>
- In <code>$CIAO_ROOT/CIDLC</code> run <code>make</code>.<br>
- Note: The linking time is a bit long (more than 5 Minutes with an Intel XEON
- 1.90GHZ CPU, please be patient).
- </li>
- </ul>
- <p><A href="../../MPC/README">MPC</A> is used to build the CIDL compiler on <strong>
- Windows</strong>. The procedure is outlined below.
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- If you have not created it already, create the file <code>%ACE_ROOT%/bin/MakeProjectCreator/config/default.features</code>
- and add <code>cidl=1</code> and <code>boost=1</code> to it, each on its own
- line. An easy way to do this is to copy the file <code>global.features</code> (in the
- same directory) as <code>default.features</code>
- and modify the appropriate lines in the new file, leaving everything else the
- same.
- <li>
- Install the <a href="http://www.boost.org">Boost</a>
- libraries on your machine. For Windows, you can download either the
- Windows-specific .exe file or the platform-independent .zip file. Use version
- 1.32.0 or later. The accompanying documentation on how to build and install
- Boost is pretty straightforward.
- <li>
- Set the following environment variables:
- <ul>
- <li>
- <code>ACE_ROOT</code>
- - [path&nbsp;ending with&nbsp;ACE_wrappers directory] (this should already be
- set if you're using CIAO)
- <li>
- <code>BOOST_CFG</code> - <code>_vc7_mdsd</code>
- <li>
- <code>BOOST_ROOT</code>
- - [path ending with Boost directory]
- <li>
- <code>BOOST_VERSION</code> - [name of the directory under <code>%BOOST_ROOT%\include</code>,
- for ex. <code>boost-1_32</code>, for Boost version 1.32.0]
- </ul>
- <li>
- In <code>%CIAO_ROOT%\CIDLC</code> run <code>%ACE_ROOT%\bin\mwc.pl -type vc71
- CIDLC.mwc</code>
- <li>
- Open <code>CIDLC.sln</code> and build as usual. Within the solution, the CIDLC
- project is the top-level one, which depends on all the other projects, and
- produces <code>cidlc.exe</code> in <code>%CIAO_ROOT%\bin</code>.
- </li>
- </ul>

- <h3>Obtaining and Installing Xerces-C
- </h3>
- <p>The Xerces-C XML parsing library is a necessary component to build parts of
- DAnCE that need to process XML based descriptor files, which include the <b>Plan
- Launcher</b> and the <b>Repository Manager</b>. Currently, the only Xerces-C
- version supported by the DOC group is version 2.6 or later.
- Earlier versions of the Xerces-C library may work.
- </p>
- <h4>Building Xerces-C
- </h4>
- <p>You may check <a href="http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/~wotte/xerces/">here</a> to
- see if there is a prebuilt binary available for your platform. Otherwise, you
- will have to obtain the source from the <a href="http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/download.cgi">
- Xerces-C webpage</a> and build it. Building Xerces-C is fairly
- straightfoward. Please see the documentation available <a href="http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/build.html">
- here</a> for instructions particular to your platform.
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- <strong>NOTE</strong>: Some of the provided projects with Xerces-C attach
- inconsistant library decorators onto the end of the Xerces-C libraries. The MPC
- build tool will expect these libraries to be named xerces-c for non debug
- versions, and xerces-cd for debug versions.
- </ul>
- <h4>Xerces-C Environment Settings
- </h4>
- <p>If the Xerces includes and libraries are in your system include and library
- paths, respectively, then you need not set up any environment and may proceed
- to the next step. If not, you will need to set an environment variable named
- XERCESCROOT to a path such that $XERCESCROOT/include points to the includes and
- $XERCESCROOT/lib points to the libraries. Also make sure that $XERCESCROOT/lib
- is in the appropriate environment variable that your platform uses to search
- for dynamically linked libraries.
- </p>

- <h3>Install CIAO core/tools/examples
- </h3>
- <p>Most of the GNUmakefiles/project files/solution files required to build CIAO
- are available in the release. If you don't like the configurations used, please
- feel free to regenerate them using MPC. Please see <A href="../../MPC/README">this</A>
- for more details.
- </p>
- <p>To build CIAO core/tools/examples:
- </p>
- <ol>
- <li>
- Make sure ACE and TAO are built.
- <li>
- Make sure you have the Xerces-C libraries installed/built
- <li>
- Make sure all ACE/TAO/etc. generated libs are in <code>$ACE_ROOT/lib</code>. To
- build CIAO you will need:
- <ul>
- <li>
- <code>ACE</code>
- <li>
- <code>TAO</code>
- <li>
- <code>TAO_IDL</code>
- <li>
- <code>IFR_Client</code>
- <li>
- <code>IORTable</code>
- <li>
- <code>Valuetype</code>
- <li>
- <code>Security</code>
- <li>
- <code>ACEXML</code>
- </li>
- </ul>
- <li>
- Make sure you have cidlc or cidlc.exe in <code>$CIAO_ROOT\bin</code>
- with the right permission setting (executable).
- <li>
- Generate the Makefile/Solution/Project files and build
- <p>For the supported build tools please see <a href="http://downloads.ociweb.com/MPC/MakeProjectCreator.pdf">
- MPC manual</a>.
- </p>
- <p>You have to execute the MPC command in the following directories if you only
- want to build the examples and have a peek at CIAO:
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- <code>$CIAO_ROOT/DAnCE/</code>
- </li>
- </ul>
- <p>On <strong>Linux</strong>: do <code>$ACE_ROOT/bin/mwc.pl -type gnuace</code> at the
- locations specified above then <code>make</code>.
- </p>
- <p>On <strong>Windows/VC71</strong>: do <code>%ACE_ROOT%/bin/mwc.pl -type vc71</code>
- at the locations specified above then Open the solution file and build.
- </p>
- <p><strong>Note:</strong> You can run <code>mwc.pl</code> at <code>$CIAO_ROOT</code>
- as long as you don't intend to build CIDL compiler with MPC. If this is the
- case(default), you can run the mwc.pl command with proper augment once then you
- can do <code>make</code> at <code>$CIAO_ROOT</code> (Linux) or open the
- workspace/solution file at <code>$CIAO_ROOT</code> (Windows) to build.
- </p>
- </li>
- </ol>
- <strong>Building CIAO quickly</strong> : You can build CIAO quickly by doing
- the following:
- <ul class="noindent">
- <li>
- Remove all the GNUmakefiles or project files that are shipped with the release.
- <li>
- Open up <code>$CIAO_ROOT/CIAO_TAO.mwc</code>
- .
- <li>
- Run <code>$ACE_ROOT/bin/mwc.pl CIAO_TAO.mwc -type gnuace</code> from <code>$CIAO_ROOT</code>
- .
- <li>
- Type 'make'
- <li style="LIST-STYLE-TYPE: none">
- This will build all the required ACE+TAO libraries including CIAO libraries and
- tools.
- </li>
